I am quite excited to get to announce the birth of a new press. You may or may not know that I have written three books for TSTC Publishing. My publisher there is Mark Long. Along the way, Mark has also become a friend. He’s still the head of TSTC Publishing, but he’s also started his own press called Dystopia Press. And – drumroll, please – he’s looking for manuscripts.

Dystopia Press’ first book will soon be out and Mark is even more excited than I am. The author christened to be the first published by Dystopia Press is from England. If you come back tomorrow, you can find out what her book is about, what kind of books Dystopia Press will be publishing, how this new press got started, and what Mark plans for the future.

If you’ve ever had questions for a small press editor, come back tomorrow to read Mark’s post and ask away. While you’re jotting down those questions, zip over and read Mark’s blog for Dystopia Press and follow Dystopia Press on Twitter.

This post is interesting on several levels, Mark. Knowing your dreams, dreaming big enough, and following through--that's a powerful lesson for all of us.

As for the genre you chose, it's one of my favorites for reading, although I haven't tried to write one. I read On the Beach a heck of a long time ago, but I still remember so many of the scenes from that book. I'll be looking forward your first release.
